Review on MICHELIN Pilot Sport 4 225/45 R18 95Y summer by Mateusz Brd ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The goods are normal, money is not wasted!

Took off 8 pilot sport 4 tires in size 235/40r18 Light rubber, no or almost no metal cord. The only manufacturer whose tire, even in a large size, is easy to turn out by hand. Inside, it looks like only a "kapron" cord of threads, which provides it with a reduced weight. The softness of the rubber compound gives good grip and tenacity on the road. When it starts to get colder at +5 +7, most of the manufacturers dube shamelessly like plastic, and on a bear you can safely ride up to 0 degrees if anyone needs it. In general, tires for a good summer track with good coverage will show themselves very worthy, but if you have to drive on sections with potholes and pits, I strongly advise you to look at something else. The sidewall is weak, and although I didn’t have a hernia, most likely because there is no metal cord on the sidewall. Upon impact, the sidewall of the tire sags easily if it hits something like the edges of a pit in asphalt or a rail, the tire breaks. A hernia is not even if the tire bends to the disk upon impact, but a breakdown in this situation is almost guaranteed. That's exactly what happened to me personally. The sidewall was torn in the pit, the whole family was in the car at night, and it’s good that it didn’t skid. Who will say the pressure was lowered is wrong - my SS with electronic direct-acting pressure sensors monitors the pressure as it should. I pump on a cold 2.6 bar strictly according to the passport. Another of the minuses is increased abrasion. Before that, there were contisportcontact 3 in the same size, they had better wear resistance and the sidewall was stiff but held the road a little worse. As for Mishka, the rest is only pluses for those who are ready to pay a little more dough for good running sports characteristics and for whom this is more important than the above minuses, they will not regret it. I myself remain on the bear. Although kontik if the order is cheaper, then you can take it.

Pros
  • Holds the road, light, soft / grippy
Cons
  • Significant wear. For 1 maximum 2 seasons. Weak side.
